RMS 2021-2022

Viv has decided to give Henry a run for his money! Tuesday marked her first day of in-person school since  March 13, 2020 AND her fourth different school in four years!! 

She's had a great three days. She loves being in school although the fact that she's one of only a handful wearing a mask worries her...and me. I'm walking a line between "go have fun and be a teenager" and "please, for the love of God, don't let her get sick". It's a place that I know other parents are in, and a place that our local, state and federal "leaders" have put us in. Florida is absolutely on fire with Covid-19, but I have to trust that Matt and I have done everything in our power to keep ourselves and the kids safe. I just wish everyone else would do their part too. 

That being said....here's to another safe and healthy year...fingers crossed!!

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023

AmeriCorps and the real world called.   The day after we got back home from Colorado, Maxwell was off. It should've been two days after we got home, but we missed our original flight and...anyhow.  On that Tuesday morning, Matt and Henry went to work, and Maxwell, Viv and I loaded up the U-Haul and headed to Knoxville. Viv was so excited to be a part of this moving crew...she was always in school when he left for Lyco so this was her first official move-in. There was a lot of driving, a lot of sweat, and (as always) some tears, but the three of us got it done!  Go answer that call, Moose. Go out and do great things!! Tennessee River Line Project  Day 1!
